  • EPS07:083 [Andora Hinton] ​​​​​​​Empowering Growth

    Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show

    I am your Special Host Richard Wray

    Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.


    My very special guest today is Andora Hinton ...

    Andora Hinton founded Willow North Growth Partners to help companies improve communication and collaboration. She discussed her journey from a career in sales to entrepreneurship and how changing the company name was an important step. Willow North works with clients of all sizes from various industries. Andora explained their process of immersing themselves in a client's business to fully understand their needs. While they provide structured programs, everything is customized to the client's language and scenarios. The best outcomes come from clients that are fully committed to the changes over a 6-9 month engagement. An example client saw ongoing success implementing active communication techniques learned in a training years ago.

    Key Moments:

    • Andora Hinton founded Willow North Growth Partners to help professionals improve communication and collaboration skills through leadership development and sales training.
    • She discovered her passion for entrepreneurship and training after being laid off from a 15-year corporate career, seeing it as an opportunity to try something new.
    • Willow North works with a wide range of companies from 200 employees to 45,000 employees across many industries, addressing common challenges around lack of communication and pause for assessment.
    • Andora takes time to immerse herself in each client's business to fully understand their language, scenarios and needs before customizing the training experience.
    • She sees the biggest mistakes as not taking enough time to reassess strategies as the world changes and focuses too much on a few priorities without addressing other factors.
    • Engagements typically last 6-9 months with many clients remaining long-term due to positive results.
    • Andora is still learning as an entrepreneur and remains open to challenges and new ideas from clients to improve further.
    • A manufacturing client from 2018-2019 continues to reference lessons around effective communication years later.
    • Upcoming initiatives include individual communication training and retreat programs alongside existing corporate work.
    • The key takeaway is to remain open to learning from mistakes and new suggestions along the entrepreneurial journey.

    • EPS07:082 [Dr. Anthony Rhodman] The Key to Perfect and Predictable Success

      Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show

      I am your Special Host Richard Wray

      Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.


      My very special guest today is Dr. Anthony Rhodman ...

      The episode discusses peak performance and life psychology with expert Dr. Anthony Rhodman. He explains that understanding yourself at a deep level through analyzing your different "minds" is key to success. Fear often stops people from achieving their goals by manifesting unwanted realities. Dr. Rhodman helps clients discover their true selves so they can achieve "perfect predictable success" through strengthening their ego and relearning how to dream big. Common mistakes include thinking others will change your life rather than taking responsibility yourself. His advice is to develop self-knowledge as it allows predicting and creating the success of one's choosing. Clients have thrived even during hard times like the pandemic by following his guidance. Listeners can learn more at his website or sign up for his self-discovery program.

      Key Moments:

      • Dr. Anthony Rhodman is a mental peak performance expert who helps people discover who they truly are in order to achieve perfect and predictable success.
      • We have different "minds" within us like the conscious, subconscious, unconscious minds that need to work together harmoniously.
      • Our ego, which is often seen negatively, is actually the source of our power and choice if strengthened properly.
      • We all have multiple personalities or "characters" depending on the situation, but need a strong main identity to unite them.
      • Fear is the opposite of faith and prevents manifestation by keeping us stuck in a cycle of false evidence.
      • Most people's dreams and potential have been conditioned out of them from a young age through limiting beliefs.
      • Rediscovering how to dream and set goals is an important part of the process.
      • Trauma from the past needs to be addressed but with a future vision/dream to anchor one's progress.
      • Taking personal responsibility for one's life and success is key rather than waiting for others.
      • Dr. Rhodman helps people create a "manual" for themselves to fully discover and develop their ideal self.

      • EPS07:081 [Ken Jacobs] ​​​​​​​How To Keep Going In Times of Uncertainty

        Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show

        I am your Special Host Richard Wray

        Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.


        My very special guest today is Ken Jacobs ...

        This episode discusses how to keep growing in times of uncertainty with Ken Jacobs, a leadership coach. Ken recommends finding work that aligns with what you're good at and passionate about by using a Venn diagram. He stresses the importance of passion for weathering challenges. The discussion covers how to have difficult conversations with toxic clients respectfully while prioritizing employee well-being. Ken also shares how reflecting on what you're great at can boost confidence during difficult periods. He provides tips for identifying an ideal client fit and avoiding coming across too needy for work. The episode concludes with Jacobs promoting his new ebook on leading through uncertainty available on his website.

        Key Moments:

        • The guest, Ken Jacobs, helps senior executives in PR, communications, and marketing achieve their goals through effective leadership coaching.
        • Ken discussed finding one's passion and calling to find greater success and happiness. He realized coaching was his calling after enjoying training clients.
        • To keep growing in uncertain times, companies must take a hard look at what they offer and ensure there is market demand for high-value services people are willing to pay for.
        • It's important to honestly assess one's strengths and pursue opportunities that play to them, even if less lucrative initially, rather than doing work just for money's sake.
        • Passion is important for launching a business or weathering uncertainty, as difficult periods require extra effort one is more willing to give if passionate.
        • Agencies should avoid coming across too eager to please clients and instead establish they will serve as valued partners and counselors through excellent, respectful work.
        • Confronting toxic clients respectfully about how their treatment of staff affects performance can often improve the relationship for the better.
        • Letting go of a star performer due to a toxic client's behavior gives that client too much power and risks losing other talented staff.
        • People usually aren't aware their behavior is problematic and are open to changing if approached constructively about improving performance.

        • EPS07:080 [Melissa Ahlquist] ​​​​​​​Fighting Imposter Syndrome to Build a Successful Business

          Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show

          I am your Special Host Richard Wray

          Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.


          My very special guest today is Melissa Ahlquist ...

          The episode discusses how to overcome imposter syndrome when building a business. Guest Melissa Ahlquist shares how she started her outdoor bean bag business and workshop programs. She experienced doubts in her abilities but gained confidence through her successes. Melissa recommends acknowledging accomplishments, focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses, connecting with other business owners, and challenging negative self-talk. She emphasizes the importance of believing in yourself and giving yourself permission to learn and grow. Melissa's advice is to stop playing small and not try to fit into boxes defined by others.

          Key Moments:

          • Melissa struggled with imposter syndrome when starting her business, doubting her abilities and qualifications.
          • She recommends acknowledging your successes and strengths to combat imposter syndrome. Focus on what you're good at instead of weaknesses.
          • Connecting with other business owners through networking and mentorship can help overcome feelings of inadequacy.
          • Negative self-talk fuels imposter syndrome - it's important to challenge unhelpful thoughts and shift to a more positive mindset.
          • Visualization techniques can counter internal critic voices and boost confidence.
          • Naming and allowing yourself to feel emotions like rejection, instead of dismissing them, aids in processing feelings productively.
          • Side hustles take time to build up to the point of being self-sustaining businesses. Success doesn't happen overnight.
          • Charging appropriate rates, rather than undervaluing your work, is important for business and self-esteem.
          • Having an accountability partner like a coach or "biz bestie" provides motivation and reality checks against imposter feelings.
          • The advice is to stop playing small and not try to fit into boxes defined by others, but embrace your uniqueness.

            • EPS07:078 [Kyle Gillette] ​​​​​​​Thinking for Yourself in Business

              I am your Special Host Richard Wray

              Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.


              My very special guest today is Kyle Gillette ...

              In this episode, Kyle Gillette introduces the "BIFRAM" framework, which focuses on empowering employees to think independently. The acronym stands for Build, Inspire, Facilitate, Reinforce, and Motivate. The key message is to approach others with the assumption that they are fascinating and engage with them. Kyle emphasizes the importance of encouraging employees to own solutions and be accountable through thoughtful questioning. Celebrating both successes and setbacks is highlighted as a way to foster risk-taking and learning from mistakes. Furthermore, taking time to reflect on problems is crucial. The podcast offers valuable insights for leaders aiming to boost employee confidence and foster independent thinking while avoiding common pitfalls.

              Key Moments:

              • Kyle helps business owners who feel stressed, overwhelmed, and stuck using a framework called SOS (Stressed Out, Overwhelmed, Stuck) and BLUE (Build, Lead, Use, Empower).
              • Kyle grew up on an orange farm in California and later lived in a men's mentoring program where he ran a pet resort.
              • Kyle emphasizes empowering people to think for themselves by starting with fascination in others, understanding their perspectives, asking thoughtful questions, helping them own solutions, and celebrating both successes and learning from failures.
              • A key part of empowering others is creating space for them to think without interruption and affirming their own ideas rather than needing approval from others.
              • Taking pauses each day, even just a few minutes, can help people think more clearly.
              • Celebrating mistakes and failures helps people feel comfortable innovating, taking risks, and learning from experiences.
              • Leaders must first work on developing self-awareness, humility, and managing their own mindsets before empowering others.
              • Asking people for their perspectives on problems helps them slow down and think solutions through themselves.
              • Kyle has written a new book on empowering leadership and thinking.
              • Kyle is available for coaching on his website and shares more on empowering leadership.

                • Developing visual models of one's expertise can provide the basis for many different types of content and experiences.

                  • EPS07:075 [Sam Laliberte] ​​​​​​​Never Settle - Creating Your Freedom Lifestyle

                    Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show

                    I am your Special Host Richard Wray

                    Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.


                    My very special guest today is Sam Laliberte ...

                    In this episode, entrepreneur Sam Laliberte discusses the digital nomad lifestyle. She shares how she built a six-figure freelance business while working remotely from various countries, emphasizing the freedom of location, schedule, and finances. Sam helps others achieve a similar lifestyle by starting with small, achievable goals and a positive mindset. She cautions against overplanning and letting fear hinder action. Sam advises filtering advice from others and trusting one's intuition. She finds joy in helping clients pursue their dreams, like traveling Australia for a year. Sam is excited about her podcast's latest season featuring fellow freedom seekers with unique lifestyle designs.

                    Key Moments:

                    • Sam helps people design liberated lifestyles with freedom of location, schedule, and finances. She has built a 6-figure freelance business working remotely from many countries.
                    • Sam grew up in an entrepreneurial family which inspired her creative approach to career and lifestyle.
                    • The freedom lifestyle allows work to fit one's desired way of living rather than fitting life around work schedules.
                    • Remote work and online business models have opened opportunities to live and work outside the traditional 9-5 office structure.
                    • People have different motivations - some want to avoid something negative while others desire specific lifestyles they see.
                    • Common mistakes include focusing on what can go wrong rather than right, and not taking action due to fears.
                    • Outside opinions can discourage dreams, so one must be discerning about whose advice they take.
                    • Trying different approaches multiple times is okay if still enjoying the process and vision.
                    • Leveraging one's personal brand and serving ideal clients can help a business.
                    • Automating processes and developing passive income streams allows reducing direct work hours.

                      From the publisher's feed

                      As a time-poor, typically underfunded online entrepreneur who receives so much conflicting advice about the best ways to grow your business, how can you compete with the big end of town without any of the resources they have at their disposal?
